Use a cone thread holder and put it further away from the machine than regular thread , it needs to Un-wind itself/relax a bit before it goes through the machine. I use a smaller size needle, reduce the tension( every machine will react a bit different , depending on who made the thread, most require a reduced tension). I had one spool I had to put the cone holder and thread about 3 ft away on the floor and used a second cone holder just before the machine to guide it before I could get it to relax and not constantly wrapping around everthing it came in contact with. Needless to say I never bought invisable thread from this major chain store with the 40 percent coupons again! Had I not had success with other brands I would have NEVER touched the stuff again.
I have had great success with Home sew, Clotilde, Superior, and a few others.
